9 (New York City Subway service)

9 (New York City Subway service)

9 was a designation given to several IRT services of the New York City Subway.

Dyre Avenue Line

The 9 designation was originally used for the IRT Dyre Avenue Line until it was converted to through service in 1957. From 1957–66, the nighttime Dyre Avenue Shuttle continued to use the number 9. Since 1967, the Dyre Avenue Shuttle runs during late night hours, but now carries the number NYCS|5, the same as the through service on the line.

Skip-stop service

The NYCS|1/9 skip-stop service began on August 21, 1989. [cite news|title=The New York City Transit Authority in the 1980s|url=http://www.nycsubway.org/articles/history-nycta1980s.html|work= [http://nycsubway.org nycsubway.org] ] Skip-stop service operated north of 137th Street.

Midday skip-stop service was discontinued in 1994, but remained during peak hours.cite news|title=MTA Proposes Dropping No. 9 Train|url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B07E5D71638F931A25752C0A9639C8B63|work=The New York Times|date=January 12, 2005] By this time, skip-stop service assigned the following stations to the 1 train "only":
* 238th Street
* 215th Street
* Dyckman Street
* 157th Street

and the following stations to the 9 train "only":
* Marble Hill–225th Street
* 207th Street
* 145th Street

After the September 11, 2001 attacks, NYCS|1 trains had to be rerouted since the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line ran directly under the World Trade Center site and was heavily damaged in the collapse of the South Tower. The service ran only between Van Cortlandt Part–242nd Street and 14th Street, running local north of 96th Street and express south of there; the NYCS|9 service and skip-stop service were suspended at this time.

Service was changed on September 19, after a few switching delays at 96th Street. NYCS|1 trains made all local stops from 242nd Street to New Lots Avenue via the Clark Street Tunnel and IRT Eastern Parkway Line, to replace NYCS|3 trains, which terminated at 14th Street. NYCS|1 trains returned to South Ferry, and skip-stop service was restored on September 15 2002.

The NYCS|9 service and skip-stop service were discontinued completely on May 30, 2005, including the peak-hour service that had run since 1994.
